IIRC, this was a pretty small piece, wasn't it? Something like 11/64 x 3/4 x
6? I *know* I have plenty of scrap I could mill something that small out of,
in just a few minutes. E-mail me with precise dimensions, and your snail-mail
address. I'll do it for you for cost of postage plus a dollar.
Note that the email address on this post is a spam-trap. Correct address is in
my sig.

I figured on starting with a strip about 18" long and power-planing it to
correct thickness and width, checking with a dial caliper before each pass and
creeping up on the final dimensions. Final step would be to crosscut to exact
length on the table saw.

Better hold off a bit, but I'll definitely think about that if you have some
good way to mill it to precise dimension. I really can't come up with
anything reasonable.
I'm backing off a bit because the 11/64" strip might not be the answer to my
ultimate problem after all. I need to fiddle.

Haven't thought of anything yet. I haven't really sat down to think on it
though. Too much else going on.
